Information
has glosseng: Silvering is the chemical process of coating glass with a reflective substance. When glass mirrors first gained widespread usage in Europe during the 16th century, most were made of an amalgam of tin and mercury, but by the 19th century mirrors were commonly made through a process by which silver was coated onto a glass surface. Today, sputtering powdered aluminium or other compounds are more often used for this purpose, although the process maintains the name "silvering".

has glossslk: Striebrenie je naparenie tenkej vrstvy striebra na odrazovú plochu zrkadla. Striebro sa ukladá na čistý povrch skla chemickou metódou, ktorú zdokonalil ešte v 19. storočí J. Liebig. Čerstvo postriebrené zrkadlo odráža vo viditeľ­nej časti spektra 95 % svetla, v ultrafialovej časti jeho odrazivosť prudko klesá. Taký povrch sa veľmi rýchlo znehodnocuje, najmä pôsobením síranov vo vzduchu blízko priemyselných oblastí, a preto povrch treba často obnovovať. V súčasnosti sa zrkadlá pokrývajú trvalejšou vrstvou hliníka (hliníkovanie).
